Create a modern documentation website for Hugo with Doks


Some website projects require a solid starting point. With a great developer experience and a sound user experience. Sometimes you just don’t want to start from scratch. That’s why I created Hyas.

## Building on the work of others

Making use of the power of Hugo. Following best practices for performance, SEO and security. Optimized for the Netlify platform. And always flexible, so you can easily make it your own.

## The Hyas kickstart

- Security aware
- Fast by default ⚡️
- SEO-ready
- Development tools (linting, cleaning)
- Bootstrap framework
- Netlify-ready (functions, redirects, headers)

## Great scores

- Get 100 scores on [Google Lighthouse](https://googlechrome.github.io/lighthouse/viewer/?gist=8b7aec005ae7b9e128ad5c4e2f125fea) by default. Hyas removes unused css, prefetches links, and lazy loads images.
- Get A+ scores on [Mozilla Observatory](https://observatory.mozilla.org/analyze/hyas.netlify.app) out of the box. Easily change the default Security Headers to suit your needs.
